Children

I provide support to parents/carers by helping to understand what is at the root of their child's "problems". Once we understand what is happening for your child at a root level, strategies are implemented using this insight.

Your child may be stuck if you notice the following issues:

Excessive worry
Anxiety
Obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors
Frequent and intense aggression and violent behaviors
Frequent and persistent oppositional behaviors
Mood Concerns
Body Image Issues
Difficulties expressing emotion

When I support children, I believe that the parents/carers in the child's life are the answer, so I always like to organise an initial parent/carer-only appointment. During the appointment parent/carer concerns are discussed and it is jointly decided whether I continue to see the parent/carers by themselves, or if the best way forward will be through seeing the child and parent/carer together or seeing the child on their own, depending on the situation and child's needs.

We don't need to save our children from the wounding world they live in - this is impossible. It is our job to make sure we don't send them out into it alone.
